Yeah, I've been planning on buying those & the front part....just shipping is terrible from Japan.
They said multiple orders can split the $800 shipping costs...if interested.

I like the side skirts. Actually carbon fiber hence the $$$ & cost of 2K. Yikes! Plus shipping. I had received a quote from them. Too bad Porsche doesn't make the skirts like the wide body 4S/GTS models. Pretty cheap and only like $500

I would want mine painted, so paying 2K for carbon doesn't make sense if they're going to be painted.

Searched for months to find good ones versus the TechArt, etc that stick over the current bottom skirt we have. Looks kinda "too much". The ones posted above install under the current skirt and bolt on like the factory ones.

I was going to see if the factory ones could be modified to fit somehow??

Ahhh that pricing on their website is PER skirt, not a pair?

Eeek

These are the cleanest ones I have found. The fitment looks great too.

It's a bummer they are sooo pricey. Porsche Tax is really a thing.

Coming from BMW, all mods are like double the equivalent in the BMW world. But I guess there are half or even a quarter many folks that mod their cars in the P-car world vs BMW world.

Think I like the Vorsteiner lip and rear diffuser better, though I don't care for the Vorsteiner side skirts. A little too much.

I agree!!


Quote I had received months back:

These spoilers only stock in Japan..

shipping cost is 45,000 Japanese Yen.(Japan to california / take 4-7days)

*Side skirts (C/F) Price : 198,000(Japanese Yen)

If you can wait, somebody come to california next month.
We can bring by handbaggage. Air line charge extra fee 20,000(JPY) I think.

Please understand price display is Japanese Yen.
We are base in Japan. (now: $1 = 119JPY)

Same impression coming from the Audi planet. Though these are CF. Trying to not pay attention to this post as I am 4K into already adding the sport design stuff to my car. But for instance the duck tail I have on the way from Porsche should really not cost 2K for what it is and lack of complexity. Wheels are nuts no doubt. Glad I am happy with what is on the car.

I hope someone experiments. I really would like a not too expensive option to get the black line along the bottom of my car to tie things together visually (trying to play with the black white contrast and already have black rear fender protectors on the car).

I think these look perfect. Just bizarre Porsche doesn't make them for the narrow body. These just bolt right on.

Yup, fewer modders in the p world. On my highly modded '14 C7 Vette, I paid only $699 shipped for full carbon fiber side skirts.

I agree that the painted ones would look really, really good.

Not feeling those at all, particularly the front lip. It just sticks out too far. The side skirts look okay in the close up, but in the step back photo, they look like they stick out too far as well. Look more like mini running boards to me.
